Default Official November Video Game Thread

Here we will talk about the latest and greatest and soon to be out Video games, systems and what not. Discuss what you're getting, what you wanna get, what you have, what are your views on it and so forth.

I'll go first ^_^

So after careful consideration i'm opting out of getting the Playstation 3. I thought it long and hard and i just dont see the point in getting it at launch. Yea i got the 360 at launch, but the 360 isn't working with new technology which is in short supply as is. So with that said i'm looking at picking up the Nintendo Wii. I'm debating on whether or not i want to camp out in front of a best buy to get one, or just wake up EXTREMELY early and pick one up. Im planning on picking up Zelda: Twilight Princess of course. I'm not to sure about red steel yet as i havent seen enough footage on it yet to base an opinion.

In terms of actual video games this month is a pretty hectic month actually. Next week Gears of War comes out, followed by Rainbow Six Vegas. I'm a little hesitant with Call of Duty 3. I liked the last call of duty, the graphics were stupendous, but i got bored quick of it. I'm still trying to to finish Splinter Cell: Double Agent, i just keep getting side tracked with the awesome Multiplayer. The only thing i wish they would've kept or brought back is like co-op missions. They have co-op but it's more like you have to hack terminals and you all work together. Still fun, specially breaking Mercs necks. But doesn't quite fit the co-op feel. I also have Phantasy Star Universe i'm playing. I gotta pick up NFS: Carbon and FF-XII from last month. I can see this is going to be a busy busy year.

Nintedo Wii first... Because I should be able to get one...

then after the PS3 fiasco, pick one up also... I don't see the point in picking up a console launch day when you can wait :dunno:

Zelda Twilight Princess and FFXII are on the top of my games to pick up list.

How is that new f.e.a.r expansion. I'm still debating on picking up the 360 one. The demo was scary :noes:

I just bought the PSP and have bought the following:

Lumines (great game)
Monster Hunter (good game)
Worms (great game)

Aside from that I haven't bought any other games in about 8 months or more.
